NBase Communications
USING AN SNMP MANAGER
This chapter contains instructions regarding the configuration and management of the XM59x with an
SNMP Management System (MegaVision).
Configuring the XM59x with an SNMP Agent
The XM59x with an SNMP Agent board installed is a plug and play device. Once connected to the network and
powered ON, the XM59x starts operating according to factory-set default values. However, to ensure proper
operation and maximum performance specific to your network configuration and to provide SNMP access,
some environment-specific parameters must be configured through the Administrative Interface.
Two options exist for managing the XM59x: a) through the GigaHUB ESM; or b) through the XM59x card
interface for direct communication with the host.
a) ESM Setup
Open the GigaHUB ESM/LAN Attach window (GigaHUB User’s Manual, Part B, Extended System
Manager, Section 5.2.4.3) through the following sequence of windows:
à
Main à
System Config à
IP Config
ESM/LAN Attach
Select the following attachment mode:
ESM: The XM59x is to communicate through the GigaHUB ESM.
b) Global Setup
1. Connect a terminal to the ESM.
2. Log in to the Administrative Interface.
3. Initialize all the XM59x parameters to their default values. Use the following command sequence:
init-nvram
warm-reset
4. Wait until you see the LOGIN prompt again. Login to the the Administrative Interface. Now all system
parameters have been initialized to their default values.
IP Setup
1. Modify the system IP configuration to match your IP network. Use the set-ip-conf command in order to
provide an IP address, a netmask and a broadcast address (for more details see Administrative Interface, IP
Commands). For example:
set-ip-conf 129.1.1.64
255.255.255.0
129.1.1.0
Check that the actual IP configuration matches the desired one:
SYS_console> get-ip-conf
The device IP address, netmask and broadcast are:
IP address
:
129.001.001.064
IP netmask
:
255.255.255.000
IP broadcast
:
129.001.001.000
2. Set the default gateway address using the set-gatew command. This should be a station that can route IP
packets to non-local IP networks. For example:
SYS_console> set-gatew 129.1.1.1
Confirm that the default gateway IP address was properly accepted:
SYS_console> get-gatew
Device default gateway address is : 129.001.001.001
